Kelsey Wang Joins the Cast of The Young and the Restless
The Young and the Restless has added actress Kelsey Wang to their acting ensemble. Wang has been cast in the role of “Allie”, who the show teases is a ‘mysterious, young professional who catches the eye of one of Genoa City’s eligible bachelors.’
Wang also has appeared on General Hospital in the role of “Daisy Kwan”. Her other credits include: Netflix’s Daredevil, the dual language pilot, Journey to the East, and Chimerica, which made its U.S. premiere at the Studio Theater in Washington, D.C.
Look for Kelsey to debut on the Thursday, March 10th episode of the CBS daytime dramas series.
Now the question is; could Allie’s emergence on the canvas be tied to Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) new story?
On Monday’s episode of Y&R, Jack and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) discussed a key text message location that said “Hao Nguyen.” Jack mentions his ex-wife Luan’s maiden name was Nyguyen and her father’s name was Hao. He says this can’t be the same person and is shocked.
All of this came after the mysterious text Jack received that mentioned there is ‘something he has been looking for in Los Angeles’. Now, Phyllis speculates that the message could be from his son with Luan … Keemo! Could Allie also be part of this story? Stay tuned.
So, who do you think Kelsey will become romantically involved with from the eligible men in Genoa City? Share your thoughts below.
This is great! This actress was on GH and was very good. She is pretty and is a good actress. Maybe she is related to Jack? Maybe a possible Nick romance?
She would be Noah’s age.
Why is the show revisiting this story when Peter Bergman hated the original story all of those years ago? Makes absolutely no sense to me.
Just because she’s Asian-American doesn’t mean she has to be related to Jack, and no one has said that’s what her story will be. I mean, knowing the lazy writing at Y&R there’s a good chance she will be his granddaughter or some other relation. But there’s also a chance she’s just someone new in town who happens to have Asian heritage.
It does make sense, Michael…they want to make sure to keep the show boring the way it’s been for quite a while now and this is the best way to do it…I remember all the yawning I did when that story was going on years ago.
My thoughts exactly, James. They must have a deal with No-Doze.
Boys that’s for sure, and I don’t expect anything different in this generation.
And Peter Bergman s feelings on the writing matter? You mean he actually gets to do something besides twiddling his fingers awkwardly when he walks in a room and gives sage advice?
Pls. Was Sharon Case jumping up and down when she found out LML that horrible writer was killing off Brad who she was hot and heavy at the time and putting her with a man twice her age Jack? Or even better when she married her father in law Victor? Gross. Actors feelings shouldnt dictate story.
What doesnt make sense is how Josh Griffith still has a job!
Hopefully it’s Noah so we can finally see a smile on his face.
No Noah! Give her a chance to act her part ( whatever that might be) I really don’t see where she will fit in…but, give Aunt Tracie to connect with someone in the family!Also, if she have a career, maybe a job at jabot or with Nick at Hope! Looking forward to see if her Mother will be joining the case as well?✅
Hooray, she looks “young” and sounds “restless.” So hopefully will help kick some life into this moribund show.
Good! A possible love interest for Noah, the lovelorn puppy dog! He can stop mooning over his sister’s fiancé.
It would be far more interesting if it were his son than a grandchildl
matthew
I think he’d be too old by now and Keemo is way older than Kyle.
I enjoyed the storyline of Keemo but I know PB hated it ! I would say she might be the granddaughter to Jack ! This could be a fantastic storyline and her mixing up with Noah who has so much potential but they have given him nothing to work with /but then we are talking about JG who just can’t write ! Ugh
Noah. She will probably turn out to be Jack’s daughter.
Too young to be his daughter.The man is in his sixtys.
Just when I think no one’s on the ball anymore at Y&R, this happens. Can someone please tell me why?
I remember her from GH,certainly sounds like she’ll be involved with Noah which may finally get him something to do besides mope around after Tessa
Granddaughter to Jack is likely as Keemo by now would be pushing 50. I found it odd that whole storyline was forgotten as if nothing ever happened. Keemo is an Abbot and the family could use a boost.
I think it’s pretty obvious that this young girl is Jack’s granddaughter and we won’t have to watch Noah hopelessly pining after a lesbian, wonderful gal that she is but he’s got to realize it was never meant to be.
“pining after a lesbian”: funny line, Violet. We’ve all been there. 🙂
Yep, even a Devil knows the pain of falling for the wrong succubus now and then.
Hey Violet. It’s akin to watching Pepe Le Pew pine after a cat.
O.K guys, thanks for the responses, but Harry, yours really stinks!
Ironically, for a while there it looked like she might have been a lesbian on GH… since it appeared they were going to pair her up with Kristina. I think they would have made a cute couple… but instead all we got was that Dawn of the Dead cult stupidity that just dragged on and on and on… and in reality hasn’t even ended yet, given the whole Willow birth certificate nonsense.
And poor Daisy didn’t even stick around for the whole story.
I vote Nick all day long!
Faire
Voting him for what??
She will be Keemo’s daughter and she will be Noah’s new love interest.
Maybe Allie is the past love of Noah from his time in London, for we don’t know anything about that heartbreak other than it devastated Noah. Regardless, I do think that she will have a significant storyline with Noah, which would be great so that he can get over his feelings for Tessa. And it would be interesting if she is connected to Jack’s son Keemo, possibly his daughter. Nguyen is one of the most common last names from Vietnam lineage.
Oh interesting theory, Margarita. I think
You might be on to something.
I think she is Keemo’s daughter—ergo, Jack’s granddaughter.
While I respect introducing this beautiful girl, I ask —why now? My memory of Keemo is foggy, but I have been mentioning the complete disregard of his existence, off and on, because my grandmother keeps lamenting, ” I wonder what happened to Keemo!”…LOL.
She had really taken a liking to him and still talks about him and his mother, Luan.
I find Jack’s excuse ( thanks to these aggravating writers) sort of lame—seriously? Your son has cut all ties with you?A parent who loves his/her child would never give up making amends that easily. Keemo is never discussed or mentioned by family members. Is the subject tabu? Why hasn’t his name ever come up? If it did, it must have been in passing because I missed it,
What’s the strategy? Well, whatever it is, I welcome any new story other than what we have now—such torture to watch—which I skip most of the time.
Thiis revolting ‘sick’ baby trend is becoming an obsession with these writers—do they think they are eliciting pity by creating trauma and drama? For whom? It ain’t working—–I can’t take Abby and Lance ( worst actor ever)—he and Abby have no connection—no vibe—no sparks!! Zilch!! Frankly, none of them does.
Now, if we could only get Ronan back —oh, yeah–we will definitely see sparks with him and Phyllis.
Right there with you Celia. When someone has a bone marrow transplant, they need to be in the Bone Marrow Transplant unit in the hospital for a minimum of 6 weeks wince their immune system is completely shot in order to not reject the bone marrow. There is no way that baby would be home right now! And yes, to Ronan returns. That’s the only way I will be able to tolerate Phyllis, for she drives me insane.
Exactly, Margherita—We all know it’s a soap—but as it is my wont to say—-throw a little reality into the mix. These writers keep stepping on their own toes, then go to “lunch” ( part of Soaphound’s amazing precis), while we get the bone. If I want to watch “Fantasy”, I can switch on Netflix.
Ronan, Ronan, Ronan—where art thou, Ronan—-other than Michelle Stafford, I doubt we will get a more explosive chemical reaction with anyone else—I felt their heat. LOL.
We disagree on one thing. I love Michelle as Phyllis ….-my favorite, she is!! But, that’s OK—-it makes for a good debate. LOL.
In other news, Devon consults with Dr.Nat on a medical trial which will help Devon develop lactation ducts so he can breast feed Baby Chancellor- Newman-Abbott-Winters. Stay tuned for Devon starring in the role made famous by Rebecca de Mornary, The Hand that Rocks the cradle.
Oh Harry, just what we need…ANOTHER Devon story. Next to feeding his own child, maybe he can also self reproduce! This sordid tale has gone on so long, Dom should be ready for college by this summer. And Chance’s hair will remain looking like the entry to King Solomon’s Mines.
Oh Celia, can you imagine the “think-tank” meeting on this decision? Something like this:
EXECUTIVE #1: “Let’s see, we have all these available, brilliant, beautiful actors playing Kevin, Gloria, Lauren, Traci, Ashley, Paul, Esther, Jill. Instead, let’s bring in ANOTHER character we won’t know what to do with, except pawn her off on Noah. Yeah, yeah, whaddaya think? Oh, and lots more CHABON (Chance/Abby/Devon) because our contract with No-Doze is up for renewal.”
EXECUTIVES #2 thru #29: “Fine. Where’s lunch?”
HaHaHa, Soaphound—Bull’s eye!!!! Execs#1 thru #29 have such vision, no?—-they just know how to employ the right “ingredients” to “monotonyville” while boring the living caca out of the viewer!!
So, I hear that Kyle and Summer are being recast. Hmmmm—-makes me wonder if an imbroglio is in the making—Kyle versus Keemo ( or vice versa)—sibling rivalry—except that Kyle is young enough to be his brother’s son…..better yet, Keemo’s daughter ( maybe?) and Summer will sharpen their finger nails, at the ready, for a cat-fight? Perhaps, I shall be the scribe and propose a plot-line—-with spice!!LOL
I can’t keep up—-why? No planned strategy. As you suggest—a complete debacle where these execs are impervious to the actors’ lack of skill; to the repetetive plots; to the humdrum platitudes thrown at us.
They write for the sake of penning a line without much given thought behind it, except—“Fine. Where’s lunch?”
Another much ado about nothing . She will be stuck in story purgatory or even better if the viewers arent excited enough with all the going ons she’ll share screen time with Devon, Abby, Mariah and Tessa! Yayyyyy!!!
I think she will appear as Kemo’s wife. Maybe she is reaching out to Jack in hopes that he will visit and a reconciliation will happen between Jack and his son.
Allie will be Jack’s granddaughter, and it’s about time!!! He could have 3 grandchildren!!
Noah’s the target.
Gosh, they haven’t even started this lousy SL yet and I’m F.F all these Abbott and Phyllis scenes. I could care if Jack has a long lost G.D who evidently is filled with possibly inherited pain, hate and animosity towards Jack and his family, and as everyone is predicting,poor Noah will probably try helping her out, and the rest will be history some day.
So right, VIOLET..I’m glad you said it because I was starting to feel guilty for not liking yet another new story. Seeing Traci was the only bright spot for me. And Jack, though bereaved, is acting like Bambi, scared of his own shadow. Oops, does that make Traci & Phyllis into Flower and Thumper? Yikes!
Soaphound
I think maybe I spoke too soon regarding Jack’s probable granddaughter. Iam so sick of seeing sad-sack Noah strolling into C.L and getting the third degree from his mother and or father about his nightlife or life in general. I don’t know why he puts up with them constantly in his business. How much you wanna bet they will be sticking their noses in when he starts showing interest in this girl?
Also, hope this Allie isn’t as whiney and desperate as the one on Days.
After all the hype, The Young and the Restless is set to bring you the two-part nuptials of Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) to Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) which kicks-off beginning with the Friday, October 16th episode and continues on Monday, October 19th.
Ahead of the “I do’s” and the glitz and glamor of the Gatsby-inspired roaring 20’s themed wedding, the Y&R Insider You Tube Channel released a behind the scenes vide of the making of Billy and Sally’s wedding, featuring many of the participants from the cast to costume director Mandi Line.
In addition to the video, Michael Fairman TV is sharing some behind the scenes photos from the wedding tape day! At the epicenter though, is Daytime Emmy winners, Jason Thompson and Courtney Hope, who spoke on how the meaning of the wedding is much more than just about reciting lines of dialog.

Also previewing the big days are: Peter Bergman (Jack), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Beth Maitland (Traci), Zuleyka Silver (Audra) and more. Here’s a few excerpts from the behind the scenes video.
Jason Thompson: “A day like this changes the show and changes your character and changes how you show up, because it’s just the relationships are all different instantly. To be trusted with these types of storylines, you know it’s a lot. This is so much bigger than just Sally and Billy. It’s a soap wedding. And these go on for generations and decades as people continue to watch.”
Peter Bergman: “Anytime we have all the Abbotts together, I’m a happy man. It’s a great thing. It really is. It’s rare that we have all the Abbotts in one room. I’m particularly happy.”

Courtney Hope: “It never happens that we’re all together, really, unless we have a big event on set, whatever that looks like. I love these days. These are my favorite days. I know they can be the most stressful days for everyone, but I truly love it. They just did an amazing job pulling it all together, designing it. I mean, they worked such long hours. I felt like I was really getting married. It was multiple fittings, making sure it was all constructed and put together. It was not uncomfortable at all. I just felt it was beautiful.”
Melissa Claire Egan: “Sally asking Chelsea to be in the wedding will come as a surprise to many, because last year Chelsea slept with her boyfriend, which usually don’t get asked to be a bridesmaid on the show. I wanna be clear, on the show. Not in real life! But Sally, let bygones be bygones, as one does, and was nice enough and gracious enough to ask Chelsea to be in the wedding because they really repaired their friendship over the past few months. ”
“It’s been really long days here, but I think the result will be worth it,” added Egan. “It’s gonna be a bunch of really amazing shows with some twists and turns, and the wedding is really, really beautiful.”

Zuleyka Silver: “Audra being Sally’s maid of honor has just meant the world to her, and it’s actually made me a bit emotional because I have such a deep and great relationship with Courtney. She’s my girl, and we’ve gotten very, very close. I think you can see that in our relationship as Audra and Sally. And from Audra’s perspective, she’s never really had anyone who really gets her and doesn’t judge her.”
“I think everyone sees Audra in Genoa City at a surface level,” explains Silver. “I think Sally has been able to see past that.I think because she can relate to her, and she used to have some of the same qualities, so I think she’s rooting for her, but they also have a lot in common. I love that we get to see that friendship.”

Jason Thompson summed it up best, “For me to be able to have this moment on this show, it means the world to me. It really does. To be part of an epic wedding like this and to be the one standing up there, I’m just incredibly grateful for.”

‘General Hospital’s’ Josh Swickard Stars in Faith-Based ‘The Space Between Us’ as The Man Who Has an Affair with a Married Woman
While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.
In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.
According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.
Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”
Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”
The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys. By showcasing the genuine struggles and eventual triumphs of relatable characters facing tough real-world challenges, Canyon aims to create projects that point audiences directly toward hope and perseverance.

WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED …
Speaking with TV Insider ahead of the wedding episodes, which kick-off tomorrow on the Friday, October 16 episode of the top-rated soap opera and continue on to next week on the Monday, October 19 episode, Jason Thompson teased, “Our wedding really is a really beautiful accumulation of all the things that we love about this job and that the audience loves about soaps.”
Thompson also added what fans of the soap are about to see, “Being in the business long enough, those are things you’re like, ‘Oh, damn!’ It’s not a one-day event. This continues on, and it changes story.”
Courtney Hope explained, “Standing at the altar came with its own set of emotions. I was nervous because I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years and seen so many people get up there and say their vows. I knew it would be great, but I wanted to do it justice. I wanted to make Sally’s history proud.”

HAVE A QUESTION FOR JASON AND COURTNEY?
In true soapy fashion, just because the couple may makes it past the “I do’s,” does not mean trouble is not right in front of them! “There’s a lot of tension. There are a lot of tinderbox moments,” shared Thompson. “There’s something that goes down pretty serious with Jill, and it throws everything into the blender in that moment.”
If you have a question for Jason and Courtneym but can’t be with us in the live chat, you can drop it in the comment section below and we just might ask it during the broadcast!
